The city council last night passed the ap
propriation ordinance for the en.--.uing year,
after making two changes In the ar.iounts
decided upon by the committee c,f the
whole. The appropriation for the fire de
partment was increased to IIS.- and that
for the streets end alleys department re
duced to IS.OW, the amount allowed last
year.
The Increase for the fire department was
brought alicut by reason of the passage of
an amendment to the ordnai,.-e, raising the
salaries of the chief of the department
from $75 to a month and that of the
firemen from $;o It du a month. This
amended ordinance was Introduced by At
torney r. K. Stuart, who It was presumed
was acting for the members of the depart
ment, although he derllred to say so. Al
dermen Casper and Fleming voted against
the ordinance. As Introduced the ordinance
called for an Increase In the chief's rnlary
to linn a month, but this was scaled down
to J?0 before passage,

'ftstlmate: of the City fexpenses.
Rsttmattng the revenue from the tax levy
for the genTnl fund and other sources at
178,000 for the ensuing fiscal year, the com
mittee of the whole of the city council
yesterday afternoon fixed the appropria
tions for the maintenance of the several
municipal departments for the next twelve
months at $72,850. Last year the approprla
tlons amounted to $7,060, and the receipts
exceeded this, so that there will be on
March 1 nearly $8,000 of a balance to carry
forward for the new fiscal year beginning
April 1. This, with the estimated revenue
of $70,000, makes the $78,000 which the com
mittee figured would be received Into the
general fund during the next twelve months.
One reason for the Increase In the ap
propriations for 1904 is caused by the $5,000
for the new engine house and equipment to
be established In the southern part of the
city.
The appropriations for 1904 as decided
upon by the committoe and those for 1903
are as follows:
1904
Salaries, executive dept $10,350
Police and marshal's dept 15,000

Joint Committee of Two Houses Ex

The, comniittee from the state legislature
to Investigate the site of the School for the

received here, be In Council Bluffs tonight
atid will Visit the Institute Wednesday. It
win make its report to the legislature Fri
day, and on it now practically depends the
removal of the school from Council Bluffs
or not.
When here Sunday Senator Saunders said
It was his belief that the senate would not
concur in the resolution of the house call
ing for a Joint committee to Investigate
the site of the school and that consequently
no such committee would be appointed.
On his return to Dos Moines yesterday he,
however, must have changed his opinion.
as a telegram from him received by Secre- I and as the matter is more discussed they
are throwing off the reserve and coming
out in the open for the measure, as one for
the benefit of he slate and the good of all
the colleges. A strong point In favof of the
one-board plan Is being made because of a
belief which is prevalent that there Is much
duplication of work In the three state edu
cational Institutions, that tha normal
school Is giving collegiate work, that the
university Is dabbling too deep In the
sciences and that the state college bears
down too heavily on the classical courses.
The appropriations have been held up
awaiting crystallisation of sentiment In re
gard to the hoard of managers, and this
also has had the effect of holding off the
millage tax propositions.
bill 1o Create a Board of Managers for
All State Educational Institu
tions UrovtlnK In Favor
with Legislators.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DEH MOINES. March 21. (Special.) A
remarkable agreement has been entered
Into among the lobbyists of the legisla
ture affecting a number of bills that h-ive
been cnuslng the legislators much annoy
ance. One of the most persistent lobbies
Is that In favor the state constabulary
or state marshal bill. This has been led
by A. C. Rankin of Chicago, who organ
ised the state to further the movement
for state marshals to enforce the Hquor
laws. Under this bill, which Is In the
hands of a house committee, the state Is
to be divided Into a number of districts
and the governor will appoint marshals
in each, whose especial duty It shall be
to prosecute violators of the liquor laws.
This has been, of course, bitterly fought
by the sal'jonmen ofhe state and liquor
manufacturers, i.ast week the legislative
committee of the Iowa Retail Liquor Poll
ers association camo to Des Moines to
push certain bills before the legislature
they are Interested In. One of the bilis
relates to an extension of the .time when
saloons may remain open, so that they will
not have to close until 11 Instead of at 10
p m. They also desire to keep open on
election days and certain holidays, nota
bly New Year's day. Labor day and
Washington's birthday. It is now itlia
bly reported that the liquor dealers' leg
islative committee and the lobby for t'i
Rankin statu marshal bill have come to
an understanding and that the llq-ior m.n
say they will be satisfied to aMow the
marshal bill to ktoan a lar: l? the tem
perance people will consent to the modi
fication of the liquor laws as Indicated
In their bills. It Is expected the commit
tees will act on this assumption early
the present week ani report favorably on
all the bills. But even If this is done It
Is uncertain whether the bills can get
through.
The bill to provide for limiting the life
of a petition of consent to sell liquors,
so that after throe years 5 per cent of
the voters may by petition call for a new
petition will come up In the senate tomor
row as a Kpeclal order. An effort Is being
made today to secure pledges from a suf
ficient number of the republican senators
to Join with the democrats to defeat the
measure, and with good prospect of suo
cess. Interest on State Money.
A bill was introduced by Clay to pro
vide for reducing the number of names
required on a petition of consent In towns
of 2,500 from 80 per cent to a majority.
The house voted down a bill to Increase
the compensation for members of the
board of supervisors.
The bill to require banks to pay In
terest on deposits of the state was passed.
This Is the Lewla bill which had passed
the senate. It authorizes the executive
council to enter Into an agreement ou the
amoant of the per tent.
. i ' ' -.
For Board of Managers.
The board of managers bill is all ready.
The selection of trustees and regents last
week in caucus may be of no avail, for the
boards to which It Is planned they should
be elected may be abolished before the
legislature elects the new members. The
bill Is said to be all ready. It provides for
three members and they will have an office
In the state capltol and have full and com
plete control of the three state colleges. It
la found as the members of the legislature
canvass the matter that a great many of
the members of the boards favor this plan
not yet contracted for, or similar condl
tlons. ' The support fund balances nggre
gate $fli,!t47.;3, which represents the amount
